[PATCH v2] KVM: introduce readonly memory region

From: Xiao Guangrong
Date: Thu May 24 2012 - 05:39:49 EST


In current code, if we map a readonly memory space from host to guest
and the page is not currently mapped in the host, we will get a fault-pfn
and async is not allowed, then the vm will crash

Address Avi's idea, we introduce readonly memory region to map ROM/ROMD
to the guest
